I am using "**TheThemeMachine**" as the theme of my project, so I created a folder js and clubed all the .js files require to me in this folder. [Now](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/view/81402/it-s-liberals-vs-progressives-in-us-politics-now) in my Layout.cshtml\ I have included in this manner my other .js files But it gives me [error](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/view/88527/fixing-quickbooks-error-4120-reinstalling-vs-repairing) in [console](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/210/the-console-class) that\ **mywebsite/[Themes](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/12368/why-are-html-themes-the-first-selection-of-designers)/TheThemeMachine/js/jquery-1.8.0.min.js 404 (Not Found)****\**Please help,Thanks in advance. ## Replies ### Reply by AVADHESH PATEL Hi Expert,\ To include script files first put you'r script in Scripts directory then simply try following\ **Script.Include("jquery-1.8.0.min.js");**\ By the way , this is not the correct way of including Jquery library in your theme. Jquery have been registered as a global resource with Orhard.jQuery module thus to include jquery try this :\ **Script.Require("jQuery");**\ this will ensure that jQuery included only once.but if you insist in putting script files in js directory then you can try this trick.\ **Script.Include("../js/yourscript.js");****\**don't forget to put a copy of web.config (one exist in Scripts directory) file in your js directory unless you'r script file will never been detected.\ edit :\ making change to ThemeMachine is not a good habit.try creating your own theme based **onThemeMachine** by orchard command line .this is the way to go :\ **codegen theme [/CreateProject:true|false][/IncludeInSolution:true|false][/BasedOn:]** for example :\ **codegen theme MyTheme /CreateProject:true /IncludeInSolution:true /BasedOn:**\ TheThemeMachine orchard command line is an exe file resides in /bin directory. this will create Scripts and Styles directory automatically.\ --- Original Source: https://www.mindstick.com/forum/999/in-orchard-cms-i-want-to-include-certain-js-files-where-should-i-put-them-and-how-should-i-include-it-in-my-project Copyright © MindStick Software Pvt.
